"Simulate" crafting an equipment item by choosing an item type, level, trait, racial style, quality, and set (e.g., Ashen Grip). Defaults to the player's current level.

TCC will display the icon and quantity for all of the materials needed to craft the item.

Add your virtual item (as many as you want) to the Item Order / To-Do List.

The Item Order section will display all of the items you added, in an easy-to-read scrollable list.

A cumulative summary of ALL the materials required to craft your Item Order is displayed, as well as the total Market Value of all those materials (according to Master Merchant, if you have it). Mouse over the Market Value total to see a detailed breakdown of the material component prices.Note: Master Merchant is NOT REQUIRED in order to use Tinydog's Crafting Calculator. If you do not have MM, though, material price information will not be shown.

If a trait material is refined from sub-components (Malachite, Dwemer Frame, Cassiterite), then the sub-component material and quantity needed are also shown.

If there is Master Merchant data for a trait material and its sub-components (e.g., Cassiterite and Cassiterite Sand), then the cheaper average price will be used when calculating the total Market Value.

Click a button to paste a summary of your Item Order - or a summary of the required materials - to a new in-game mail, to the chat box, or to the clipboard.

Your entire Item Order is saved automatically, so it will still be there the next time you log in (unless you clear the order).

Save your Item Orders (as many as you want), then Load them at a later time on any character.

Hover over any material icon to get the full standard tooltip for that material including its description, and the Master Merchant pricing information (if you have MM).

Right-click a material icon to get the standard context menu with "Link in chat", and "Stats to chat" (if you have MM). Note: Some of the icons may not register your right-click. This is a known issue that I am investigating.

 Crafting XP (Inspiration) Calculator screen:

For Blacksmithing, Clothing/Leatherworking, Woodworking and Enchanting, calculate how much Crafting XP (Inspiration) you need in order to get from your current skill level, to whichever skill level you want to reach. Although TCC defaults to your character's current skill level and progress, you can enter whatever values you want. This is useful when assisting other players with their crafting.

TCC will tell you exactly how many items at each skill tier you will need to deconstruct or create, in order to reach your Crafting XP goal. Example: 100 Level 6 Iron Daggers, or 70 Level 16 Steel Daggers, or 50 Level 26 Orichalc Daggers, etc.

The grid also shows the materials needed to craft each item (e.g., 4 Iron Ingots), the total materials needed to craft ALL of the items for each skill tier (e.g., 100 Level 6 Iron Daggers require 400 Iron Ingots), and the total Cost of Materials based on the average Master Merchant price (if you have MM).

Note: For most equipment crafting skill tiers, the maximum "XP per raw material" is gained from deconstructing the lowest level item for that material type (e.g., Level 16 for Steel, or Level 26 for Orichalcum). However, there are a few oddball skill tiers where the optimal item level is not the minimum, such as with Iron (Level 6 Iron Daggers are optimal). TCC highlights the material quantity for these "oddballs" in a purplish color (see Blacksmithing screenshot), so you don't accidentally craft items at the wrong level that will yield sub-optimal XP.

Choose whether you will be getting your Crafting XP by creating items or deconstructing items, and the quality of the items you'll be deconstructing (or creating, if you're doing Enchanting). The grid, item/material quantities, and costs will update accordingly.

EXAMPLE (see screenshot): Your current Blacksmithing skill level is 12, and you already have 45,230 Blacksmithing XP progress toward the next skill level. You want to reach skill level 32 so that you can purchase the rank 3 Miner Hireling ability. TCC calculates that you need 959,410 more Blacksmithing XP in order to reach skill level 32. You choose to deconstruct green quality items. In order to earn 959,410 Blacksmithing XP you will need to deconstruct 245 Level V7 Quicksilver Daggers, or 215 Level V9 Voidsteel Daggers, or 147 V15 Rubedite Daggers. You like the idea of deconstructing fewer items, but you see that the total Cost of Materials is actually cheapest for the Quicksilver Daggers so that's what you decide to go with.

Click the "Show Passives" button to pop-out a window that lists all of the passive abilities for your selected craft (passives such as Metalworking, Keen Eye, Hireling, Temper Expertise). Grids will indicate which passive ability ranks you've purchased, the minimum skill level at which each rank of that passive ability is available, and whether your character's skill level is high enough to purchase each rank.

Click on an "Available at skill level" number in order to copy that value to the "Desired skill level" box in the calculator window. Everything will recalculate.

What Tinydog's Crafting Calculator DOES NOT do:

The Item Builder and Crafting XP Calculator DO NOT limit your available choices based on your character's learned traits, racial styles, or crafting level. You can choose any item level/trait/style, or Current Skill Level. TCC is intended to be a calculator, not a character management tool.

There is no Item Builder for Enchanting, Alchemy, Provisioning, or Furnishings. There are other add-ons that have those trade skills covered quite well.

Alchemy and Provisioning are not currently included on the Crafting XP (Inspiration) calculator.

TCC does not keep track of your trait research or learned racial styles. Other add-ons have those covered.

TCC does not keep track of your Crafting Writ quests. Other add-ons have those covered.

Possible future features:

Localization in other languages.

Actual item stats, and set bonus information.

Automatic crafting of items while standing at the correct crafting station.

v1.7.17 (8/5/2017)
- In Item Builder, added a pop-out that lets you select the Item Improvement skill rank (Temper Expertise, etc.) of the crafter who will be making the items, in case it differs from that of your character. This affects how many improvement materials (Tempering Alloy, etc.) will be needed to craft the items.
- Fixed a bug where in the Crafting XP calculator if you reduced the selected item quality (e.g., changing from purple to white quality), the improvement material tooltips would still appear as you moused over the blank spots where their icons used to be.
- Fixed a bug where the Reset Item Builder button would appear on the Crafting XP tab.

v1.6.16 (7/15/2017)
- In Crafting XP, added logic to compensate for the maximum inspiration-per-decon cap at lower crafting skill levels, which results in not getting the full decon XP for higher level items. For example, at blacksmithing skill level 1, deconstructing a white CP150 Rubedite Dagger will only gain you 1016 decon XP, even though the dagger is worth 5773 decon XP. A mouseover tooltip on the Number of Items quantity will tell you how many EXTRA items will need to be deconstructed to make up for the lost decon XP. Credit to "Atlas at-Sal" for bringing this to my attention.

v1.4.13 (6/30/2017)
- Added check box for Champion skill Inspiration Point bonus (credit to Sp00sty for the suggestion)
- Added Frostcaster and Grim Harlequin styles.
- Alphabetized the Racial Style list since there are so many styles now.
- Made the Save/Load Order text box wider to allow for longer order names.

v1.3.10 (6/15/2017)
- Fixed bug when opening TCC from a character with lower crafting skills.

v1.3.9 (6/12/2017)
- Updated item levels from Veteran to Champion
- Added all new racial styles; changed selector from horizontal icon list to plain text drop-down, due to the increased number of motifs
- Added all new craftable item sets
- Fixed the Close Window widget on the Copy Order/Materials Summary to Clipboard dialog
- Fixed the Load/Save Item Order dialog
- Some feature enhancements are coming soon!

v1.2.8 (12/20/2015)
- Added "Load/Save Item Order" feature to the Item Builder.
- Saved orders are accessible by any character.
- Added "Copy to Clipboard" buttons for the Order Summary and Materials Summary.
- Added TCC to Addon Settings, with instructions and a configurable option.
- Fixed bug when adding multiple items of the same type to the Item Order and the
list item is beyond the visible scroll area.

v1.1.6 (12/5/2015)
- Added the Ancient Scale sub-component to Goldscale racial style material (Akaviri).
- If you are already composing a mail when you click to copy an Order Summary or
Materials Summary to mail, the summary will be appended to your mail body rather
than replacing it.
- Added dog icon. :-p

As I do a lot of crafting in my guilds i often get orders tied with requests for certain enchants (glyphs).
I perfectly understand that Alchemy etc. is something that is covered elsewhere (although i didnt find a calculater for pricing/material-list without actually crafting the stuff).

But for the means of tracking ordered stuff it would be splendid if you could incorporate a means of doing so. For doing the enchants i use "Quick Enchanter", but i am really looking for a ingame order-tracking. Single screen gameplay forces either to use pen&paper or switching to an other program - both methods lack the ability to use any ingame links.

I really like the feature to create invoice for the materials so my guildies know what materials i'd need (either ahead or as payment).

Is there any way you could make this writ-friendly? As in, it takes into account what our writs want, and we can add that to the tracking list so we know exactly how much of each material we need to pull? Right now, I have to manually set the level of the item to the right material being used. Prior to this, I'd just pull entire stacks of the material I'd be crafting for, for each writ, but if this could be added it would be far more efficient.

Sorry to highjack this addon's comments, but you might want to check out the Writ Crafter

Yes, Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter is perfect for writs. I do plan to borrow a component of his code in order to add an item crafting capability to TCC though, at some point!

Both the Item Builder item, and the Item Order total materials list will be updated if you change the selected Item Improvement skill rank.

So... Just saw the update with the CP passive, you rock! But uh orc characters now have an inspiration passive too, of like 15% Or so I hear, I don't orc.

Wait, whaaat? I had no idea! LOL Thanks for the heads up.

/foreheadsmack

No worries, it was only because one of my friends is crunching numbers on his crafter and I suggested he use your addon that I learned about the orc passive. (actually that's a lie, I push your addon onto everyone I meet and religiously broadcast its use in my guild chat.)

I did not see it, forgive me if it's already implemented though. The second passive of the Tower CP tree has a 20% bonus for inspiration gained. Does the calculator automatically account for that?

That feature hasn't been added yet, but I plan to include it in my next update!

OItherwise, works just fine, thank you!

As EvilDave said there's a strict character limitation in the game's Send Mail dialog. However, I do plan to look into the possibility of increasing that character limit for the purposes of TCC! I may not be able to - and even if I can, it's possible that trying to send a mail with too many characters might break something else. But I'll investigate, and see.

First set of requirements, met.

I've looked online and cannot find a crafting calculator that is even decent. The closest thing that I found was ESOhead and it's extremely outdated. This addon seems to be the best option that I can find right now. The issue that I have is that the required Tannins for upgrading an item in the Item Builder is calculated based on the character that you are currently logged in as. So if I'm on my newb toon or someone else is using the calculator who isn't a crafter to figure out how much mats they need, it will show that you need a high/max number of tannins to upgrade items. I'd like to be able to set it so that it ALWAYS assumes that I'm going to be crafting on my master crafter or so that a non crafter person can use it and know what they will need if they get the stuff made by a master crafter. Anyone that knows anything about crafting is going to have a master crafter make their gear for them to minimize the required tannins and cost of having it made. I found this in the tccMatData.lua file:

Lua Code:

-- Separate function so we can call it again, in case the user ranked up in quality improvement passive.

I'm guessing that can be modified in some way to have the Item Builder always show me the required materials for a max crafter, but I'm not sure of how to do it.

I know this was an old post (8/30/16), but I thought that I should mention for posterity that that was not the correct solution. The "6" in tcc_GetCurrentAbilityRank(SKILL_TYPE_TRADESKILL, TCC_SKILL_INDEX_BLACKSMITHING, 6) refers to the 6th trade skill in the Blacksmithing skill tree - "Temper Expertise" - not the level of that skill. By changing the "6" to a "3", you change the function so that rather than returning the player's Temper Expertise skill level, it returns their Miner Hireling skill level.

I do plan to add a feature whereby the Temper Expertise skill level is selectable, so that you can do your temper calculations for other characters.

I asked about this previously, it's a problem with the ingame mail function and it's limitation. Not something that Tiny can control easily.
